“Killens BBQ in Woodlands and Shenandoah“

“My first visit to Craft Grill impressed me! My daughter had recommended it so I took her there for an early dinner. Because the weather was good, we dined outside. I tried the shrimp and grits to compare it to what I make myself at home. It was an interesting change using gouda instead of cheddar which gives it a very different flavor that I found good. Their appetizer, a mixed sampler, was also quite good.
Overall, I was quite impressed and look forward to trying something else the next time I go there. BTW, the wait staff was also very helpful even considering he had had to deal with a food allergy reaction at another table he was serving.“

“The best chicken salad ever and the grape salad is to die for. Very very good.“

“Dined today and the food was amazing! The pork sandwich was spot on!! And the crawfish…..omg! They were Devine! We stopped only to say hello to Mr Larry and pick up a few bottles of his spices. But the smell got us! We had to order and it was even better than expected. Staff was amazing and the overall experience was great! Thanks Mr Larry for an amazing restaurant and for keeping the “real” cooking of crawfish ALIVE.“

“Best location and greatest staff! I had a huge event recently that required pickup before opening hours. They were accommadating and helped load the car.

“I have had the catfish an shrimp with green beans an dirty rice really really good an nice size pieces of catfish.
Today i got the chicken ball an green beans instead of fries an they where awesome will keep purchasing from him. Really good you wont be disappointed. Very friendly also. No mixing frying chicken in fish grease each has its own frier . So chichen doesnt tadtr like shrimp or catfish. Cholesterol free oil no MSG at all. Which is like for me a heart attack i cannt have even a speck of MSG without going into shock. So i am so grateful they are a responsible food provider. Thank you for your concern for your customers.“

“This place is legit the best soul food in the I've had in the Spring area. I recently had the smothered chicken plate with rice and gravy and 2 sides with greens and yams. I also had their kool aid which was just right and a large slice of homemade pound cake which reminded me of home. Next, visit I'll get pictures lol.“

“Just moved to this area! Our first visit. Fresh and great food, delicious very clean lots of parking nice atmosphere! Gentleman very cordial! Thanks ?????

Parking: Very spacious.

“For me, eating out at a cafe or restaurant is a casual, social affair. Every time I have frequented them, I have been greeted with a nice, gentle ambiance with no loud or destructive TV, music, or unwanted political opinions. As I have no car and ride a bike, I appreciate neither chilly nor sweltering temperatures. Usually, there are couples having lunch, and children aren't boisterous or running around being annoying or destructive.“

“Love this place! Been coming here since I was a kid. For some reason we haven't been coming here very often and I don't know why the prices are amazing the food is amazing the service is amazing everything is awesome the croissants are fantastic the wait is like 5 ish minutes but that's not a big deal. if you're there before lunch time ends and the wait extends over that they give you the prices anyways. super kind waitress, made the experience very chill. they have Shirley temples as well! <3 will definitely be coming back!“

“The food was awesome. I have not been to GC in years. It has been a very long time, and the food was on point. Place is big and clean. I was very impressed how this GC was. Keep it up 👍“
